no it doesn't, The HPV vaccine contains yeast, aluminum adjuvant, sodium chloride, L-histidine, polysorbate and sodium borate.
These ingredients are included in the vaccine in very small amounts to either assist the vaccine to work or to act as a preservative. It does not contain 'live' virus.

It depends in what form the vaccine is given. If it is FluMist (through the nose) or a single-dose pre-filled syringe, then it does not contain thermisol (mercury). If it a multiple dose vaccine, then it contains therimosol to help preserve the vaccine. The FDA has suspended the limits of mercury in the H1N1 vaccine, which means the multiple dose vaccine may contain amounts of mercury higher than the FDA has previously allowed.
The HPV vaccine is a genetically modified vaccine and therefore is not considered to be live.
